The atmosphere in the dining room was still filled with tension. Right now everyone was silent while eating the dessert served and placed by the servants in front of everyone.
Velan ate the dessert with a sense of anxiety because Voren's face looks so tense due to storing anger.
"Alright, I think this matter is just a misunderstanding, so it's wiser if we don't have to exaggerate it! Internal problems in our family obviously do not need to be spread to the public because it will certainly harm us all" said Alren.
"But Alren, the impact of this misunderstanding is really detrimental to Daren! Daren's reputation is damaged in the eyes of the shareholders! Fiancee Daren even broke off the engagement with Daren!" darla toilet.
"Darla, I understand and understand what you're worried about! But in my view, Daren is a man of will and ability! So that he knows what he has to do" Alren said. "How, Daren?" ask Alren towards Daren.
"Thank you for Uncle's trust" Daren replied.
Darla rolled her eyeballs, she certainly could not feel calm when she had to lose the trust of the shareholders who had given support to Daren.
"Well, Voren, we have to talk" Alren said, ending his dinner session.

Voren enters the father's study. This workspace for Voren is a place that he used to go when he had to receive a tantrum from Alren when receiving evaluation results from the school. When the results of the assessment were below his father's expectations, Voren clearly had to accept the consequences along with his brothers. One person does the trouble, all will be affected. That's how Alren educates his children, especially Voren. The middle-aged man certainly had very high expectations for the only boy he had as a successor.
Alren sat on the sofa with his hands folded in front of his chest, observing Voren still standing in front of the door.
"'Voren, did you know, when a boy was born into the world, he was born carrying a great burden on his shoulders? Because he will grow into a man who makes his burden as a responsibility for the rest of his life. Even in the hereafter, God will hold you accountable for everything you've done in the world" Alren began to speak.
"A man will be a husband when he is married and will be a father when he has children. The man finally has responsibility for his family!" alren.
"Your current position is a married man, you have responsibility towards your wife! Really, I won't interfere with your household matters because you're an adult and can decide which is best!" Alren looked towards Voren.
"Just in my opinion, just take care of household matters you look less capable, what about taking care of the company?" ask Alren.
"Yes, I know, you have competent people by your side! People you can trust and rely on until you can't count on yourself!"
Voren felt it was better for his father to scold him, scout him, or throw him with his report card like he used to rather than spew out words that clearly knocked Voren's mental and self-esteem so high.
"How can you be a leader in big things, if you lead a family you're not a dick! Why do I call you not yet a becus? Because you haven't been able to solve the problem by relying on yourself!"

Meanwhile, at the same time, the two sisters-in-law of Velan immediately began to conduct interview sessions on Velan. The divorce of Voren and Velan certainly immediately became very surprising news.
"Velan, are you and Voren seriously getting a divorce?" ask Renata.
"That's right, brother," replied Velan.
"Did Voren seriously divorce you for another woman?" ask Renava.
"Right, sister," replied Velan.
Vega's face turned grim. He could clearly see Darla's expression that seemed to scorn Vega.
In Darla's mind at this time, he certainly felt relieved because it turned out that Daren and Voren's wife did not commit an affair as alleged by Vega. Darla does not necessarily believe that Daren is having an affair with Voren's wife. Especially after hearing the confession that Voren's wife was only a business partner, Darla clearly felt calmer.
"Vega, to be honest, I was offended when you accused Daren of having an affair with Voren's wife. You need to underline that the woman who can make Daren president director is the woman who deserves Daren!" Darla commented a cold smile towards Vega.
"Darla, do you think you're the only one offended? You've even alleged that my son and daughter-in-law framed Daren to bring her down!" Vega retaliates against Darla.
Daren heaved a heavy sigh seeing his mother and Aunt Vega still clashing with each other.
Daren immediately came out of the dining room. He certainly did not need to be involved in a feud between his mother and Aunt Vega.
"Good night, Mr. Daren," said Doni as soon as he saw Mr. Daren.
Doni waited in front of the dining room with some servants.
"Good night, Doni," Daren replied.
"Where are you going, sir?" ask Doni.
"I want to get some fresh air first" Daren replied.
Doni nodded following the man's departure.
...~...
"Velan, can we talk to you for a second?"
Velan nodded as Vega approached him.
"Sister, excuse me first" Velan said goodbye to his two brothers-in-law.
Vega took Velan to a balcony not far from the dining room.
"Velan," Vega took Velan's hand and clasped his daughter-in-law's hand tightly.
"Do you seriously want a divorce from Voren?" asked Vega looking at Velan deeply.
"Mother, I have accepted this divorce. The divorce that Voren desperately wanted, "Velan replied. "Didn't Mom really support Voren's decision for Voren's happiness?" ask Velan.
"Velan, I know, but, can't you rethink your divorce deal with Voren? Your divorce with Voren will clearly confirm that you and Daren do have a relationship!" said Vega.
"Mother, my relationship with Daren is just a business associate. It was clearly different from the relationship that Voren and Soraya had fostered! Besides, why would I keep our marriage and Voren would marry Soraya!" velan said firmly.
Vega seemed to be unable to say anything. The middle-aged woman's eyes seemed to sparkle.
"Mother, I have accepted sincerely when Voren wants a divorce for his happiness! I also have the right to be happy! And please, don't associate this divorce matter with Daren!" velan.
"Alright Velan, I understand," Vega said as she wiped the tears that appeared in the corner of her eyes. "I'm sorry Mom, I just feel a little disappointed with your divorce decision, I really hope that you might be able to improve your relationship" Vega continued with a bitter feeling.
"Mother, why should Voren and I bother to repair our relationship? Does Voren really want to beat me up? It's better for me to be divorced than to be combined, ma'am," said Velan.
"Velan, I'm sorry" said Vega, feeling very guilty. "I should not necessarily support Voren's decision to divorce you, Mother." Vega said.
"Mother, it's okay, I'm sincere. There was no need to regret anything that had happened," Velan interrupted Vega's words.
Vega hugged Velan tightly before finally leaving Velan with tears.
Velan let out a heavy sigh, suddenly he realized that there was someone who had apparently listened to his conversation with Vega.
"Tu-Tuan Daren," Velan flabbergasted.
Daren extended his smile towards Velan. So did Velan who immediately greeted the man's smile.
